Swedish cinnamon buns!

Noah wanted to make Swedish cinnamon buns his for his birthday so we defrosted some of the frozen fresh yeast and made the dough. Surprisingly all the boys wanted to bake when it was time to make the “bullar”, probably so they could eat a lot of dough :-) They all did a great job. I was especially impressed by David who insisted to do so them by himself and they turned out beautifully! 







Silly boys on the couch!

Hurricane surfing, birthday party and sleeping beauty

Maria in her most Swedish outfit (the hat was Mormor’s when she was a baby).


I got my old doll out for Maria. 


The storm out at sea made good surf waves in our area. Marlee is the surfer further out.



The brothers playing on the beach. 


Second week at cc.


Marlee went to one of his friends birthday party woth go carting, sleep over and swimming in the pool.  


She loves borrowing everyone else’s shoes :-)


A beauty sleeping in her dress. We have a very sweet couple from Jehovas witnesses who has come by our house for years (trying to convert us) and they bought Maria this dress. There is also a little jacket with it. During covid they sent us a letter when they could not come by.

Cousins, skate park, first day of CC and birthday party

Cory and the cousins paid us a visit for a few days and we had so much fun. A full house but everyone helped out to make it a good time and it didn’t feel so crowded!



Alexander springs with friend. It was the first time there and it was great. However, it is $14 per person!!! so we will probably not be back. Most springs are arpund $10/car. 


Skatepark at sunset makes great pictures!









CC (one of our homeschool coops) started a couple of weeks ago. It is David’s first year of having his own class. He did great!!
